Khan, who had three of the charges dropped, said he would be appealing the final three

The court upheld three of the charges - interfering with the peace and comfort of tenants, failing to provide adequate smoke alarms, and failing to obtain an HMO licence for the property.

However it dismissed the other three - failing to ensure the property was kept in good and clean decorative repair, failure to ensure the internal structure of the property was maintained in good repair, and failure to ensure that any fixtures, fittings or appliances were maintained in good repair.

Following the appeal, Khan was ordered to pay an extra £2,000 on top of the previous £5,700 he was told to pay.
